Fundamental Research on the Optimal View of the Digital Map According to the Scale based on the Space Perception

Abstract

Recently, for the development of information technologies, everyone could use some services using digital map with PC and mobile phone. Then, the map user can utilize various information in the digital map because the geographical information is arranged and expanded. However, there is the problem that it is difficult for the map user to understand necessary information because there are too much information offered to them. In this research, we investigate to make hand-written map, to choose the information, and to set on the map. Using the information obtained by the investigation, we verity the optimal information arranged on a map according to the scale. Moreover, the optimal expression of the digital map according to the scale is realized on the display.
